When buying real estate property, you should not assume that property taxes will remain the same. Whenever there is a change in ownership, the assessed value of the property may reset to full market value, which could result in higher property taxes. Please use our Tax Estimator to approximate your new property taxes.

The Property Appraiser does not send tax bills and does not set or collect taxes. Please visit the Tax Collector's website directly for additional information.

Questions about the New Homestead Exemption benefit?

In 2017, the Florida Legislature approved a House Joint Resolution (HJR 7105) that will provide homeowners with an additional $25,000 Homestead Exemption, bringing the total exemption amount to $75,000.

The following FAQ’s are being provided to address common questions homeowners may have with the additional Homestead Exemption benefit.

Tax Exemptions for Disabled First Responder and their Surviving Spouse

The homestead property of a First Responder who has been injured in the line of duty may qualify for a total and permanent disability exemption from ad valorem taxes (Ref. 196.102, Florida Statutes). For more information read our flyer.

Important Information on Constitutional Amendment No. 5

The Property Appraiser would like to let you know about important information for property owners over the age of 65 who may benefit financially from Constitutional Amendment No. 5, pertaining to property exemptions.

Anyone over the age of 65, who obtained the Long-Term Senior Exemption before January 1st, 2017, and later lost the exemption when their property’s market value exceeded the $250,000 limit, may benefit from this amendment, as this may qualify them to receive the exemption retroactively to when they originally qualified and could result in obtaining a refund for those prior years.

Report Exemption Fraud

Suspected homestead exemption fraud may be reported to the Property Appraiser's Homestead Exemption Investigation Unit by calling 305-375-3402 or by reporting through our online form.

Watch out for false quitclaim deeds

There are new reports that scammers are filing fake quitclaim deeds. Unfortunately, these schemes have increased over the past few years. The thieves are preying on property owners and transferring the title to themselves and/or companies, which in turn sell the property, leaving the rightful property owner homeless. Stay vigilant and monitor the Property Search frequently for any changes in ownership.

Beware of rental scams

A recent report revealed that the Miami-Dade Police Economic Crimes Bureau has been investigating a large amount of "squatter brokers." These scammers are posing as property owners or managers and renting a property they have no legal rights over. Then renters/lessees will get caught up in this fraudulent scheme.

Remember to protect yourself and your money from thieves. Check our Property Search to confirm the listed owner of a property.
